By employing ethnographic methods to investigate the relationship between three core analytical elements ? foreign language education geared towards the development of learners? intercultural communicative competence; nihonjinron and native-speakerism as potentially constraining ideological forces; and EFL practices observed at four Japanese junior high schools ? the author not only shares valuable insights into how English is taught and learned in a stratum of the Japanese EFL system which has received limited attention from researchers over the years, but also clarifies the fundamental and complex changes currently taking place in the Japanese EFL landscape. This multi-faceted book also calls for greater consideration in postmodern ideology critique for the stratified nature of social processes as well as the material conditions and underlying generative mechanisms involved in the production and consumption of (including resistance to) ideological discourse. Accordingly, it outlines several challenges shaping ideology research in educational settings, and responds by developing a realist-oriented theoretical and methodological approach to address these challenges. This book serves as a unique point of reference for the study of parallel nationalist discourses embedded in foreign language education systems around the world. 410 0$aIntercultural Communication and Language Education,$x2520-1735 606 $aLanguage and education 606 $aEducational sociology 606 $aLanguage Education$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O23000 606 $aSociology of Education$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O29000 615 0$aLanguage and education. 615 0$aEducational sociology. 615 14$aLanguage Education. 615 24$aSociology of Education. 676 $a306.440952 700 $aBouchard$b Jeremie$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01064568 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255105503321 996 $aIdeology, Agency, and Intercultural Communicative Competence$92538917 997 $aUNINA
